Tolle says something really powerful in 6:48, "He did what he did according to the way in which life had conditioned him". This is so true, most people act out of the way life conditioned them, not out of a REAL conscious choice. They are not evil, they are unconscious
Yes OK but then we need to forgive and distance from such people and we can choose to either reconcile or not.. For example my sister broke my relationship with my gf, I was heart broken.. Its very hard to forgive but I'm on the way..
Loving yourself is important, but I feel that forgiveness is not just something to be done for one's self. True understanding and love of another person allows us to forgive and in doing so our forgiveness is using the power of love to not only heal our own wounds, but also the severed connection between two pieces of the same whole. Forgiveness for our own sake is certainly a start, but it only scratches the surface of what true forgiveness is.
God forbid, no! Nobel Peace Award is so notoriously abused by being granted to spineless, deceiving, unworthy people so it's better Eckhart Tolle stays far away from associating with it.
@@TheBoots72 I was thinking the same. So basically that abused child has to wait for years to grow up and watch his videos and become Conscious and forgive that abuser and see that abuse as neutral. Well I love Eckart. I suppose even he took years to reach here. But the gist of it is, some people never become conscious till death.
@@charu1verma yes i do believe we attract things in our lives good or bad.Even children but a child at a very young age is not conscious and basically has to live the life that is he/ she is told to live.And so the child doesn't really have a choice.(sexual)abuse in that case is not neutral until you give meaning to it in my opinion
@@TheBoots72 I see forgiveness as a process that takes time. A child will grow and mature and hopefully come to find peace. My understanding of forgiveness is that it is for yourself, not the other person. My best way to explain forgiveness is it is “giving up on the need, or desire, for revenge”. Letting go of this feeling also allows a person to let go of the hate and anger. It is not forgetting, it is releasing the power and control those feelings have over your thoughts and actions...I think this is why this quote spoke to me.
My friend forgiveness doesn't become essential part of our thinking, It can become a natural part of our Beingness Forgiveness it's not to be created by the mind becose then requiring rememberence and effort , The natural forgiveness that arises from the place of inner Silence and Peace it effortless but full of understanding and clarity🙏✨🌸❤️
Artur Hulboj pls kindly would you share how forgiveness becomes natural?? I have been so so wounded and abused I try to let go and forgive but still I cant 😞🙁🙏🙏
@@atashakgem Look up on RUclips any of Eckhart's discussions about the "pain body" and then you will have more insight on how forgiveness becomes natural. You don't "have" to forgive. When you learn about the pain body, you will have more insight that will help you help yourself. =))
Took me years to realize my parents especially my beloved mom "did the best she could do", given how they/she was raised. Sooo true... i miss them dearly because i LOVE them n because all is forgiven.
We are Humans & Humans Judge situations & Feel Upset about things...Only Highly evolved spiritual people do not judge & feel hurt in situations...We are highly emotional beings as most of us here are highly sensitive people...Most people who meditate & pray & follow Eckhart Tolle are highly sensitive emotional people who judge themselves & others all the time...We are only human & we all have human egos as long as we are alive ...We are just more aware than ever, of when its Ego responding to situations....
wow. I had the same childhood experience! Later I had the experience of forgiveness... I can't even say "I forgave "; it was more like a burden lifted from ME, and yes as if the past was cleared. Forgiveness is profound. I wish the experience for everyone who's in anguish. Thankyou Eckhart X
I also have the same childhood and I'm going through this path right now. It's extremely painful and difficult. I couldn't forgive my parents even I know their condition in the past. I'm thinking maybe I'm incapable of love. May I ask you how did you forgive or let go? Or broke the ego to not resent anymore.. Thanks if you could help
@@mc7108 I also experienced this childhood. I was only able to forgive after doing a lot of work on myself, meditation, shadow work, understanding CPTSD-look it up. I did a lot of crying, a lot of letting things go so to speak. You will get there, where you can forgive, or as I did, just let him and all the negativity go. Live in the NOW! x
Forgiveness is accepting the past...and letting it go. To cease keeping the suffering alive by rehashing and reliving it over and over again. You are not longer "stuck" on it. Forgiveness is to free yourself from the past.
I can relate to your story.....when I forgave my father, I actually cried hard with anger but, I felt his pain and totally understood that he did the best he could with what he knew. He never left me but he was never there to give me what I needed from him.
I relate to this... I'm glad you have that empathy in you :) it's a beautiful thing. Ending the cycle and realizing we can do better, I believe, is quite liberating, I wish you the best.
"Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.” Such powerful, yet simple, thought-provoking wisdom. Eckhart's teachings have transformed my life!!
Ever since reading The Power of Now and hearing Eckhart's teachings, my life has changed dramatically. Now I'm making videos to help people raise their vibration and overcome things such as anxiety and insecurity! Thanks Eckhart🙏
eli jewel do it! You’ll be surprised how quickly you start to get positive feedback and it feels great to know you’re having a positive impact on people
@@marijkevandermeer2772 The Hulk perfectly describes the narcissistic rage,the Jekyll and Hyde factor which would be terrifying for a child to witness,it's bad enough when an adult sees this.It is good to know that people who have suffered in this way can rise above their torments and search for a higher understanding and find the peace that they so desperately need.My heart goes out to the children too.
A healing reminder for me who has Tolle as a life saving star since 10 years. I´ve been reading books in similar categories since teenage years, and what always gets to me is "the situation is what it is, neither good or bad, you are the one putting lables on everything (making it so- depending on what benefits your reality or not). Life is pretty simple in a way, our mind game is not healthy.
Dear Eckhart could you please share your view on animal suffering especially inflicted by humans in the industry for meat, dairy, eggs, wool etc. I don't hate people for causing it (consumers and people working in the industry) and I try to do my best in helping the animals and spreading awareness and consciousness among humans. Although I feel compassion for humans too I find it easier to accept human suffering because I know it is on the egoic level and that it has a purpose for them to become conscious. But what about the animal suffering, does it have a purpose.. for them? They are innocent and already conscious to their capabilities. I find it so hard to see and know how they suffer. I try to not feel it all the time anymore because at a certain time I was not able to function. When I feel the emotions I try to convert them in my mind to positive intentions of people to open their eyes and hearts and for the animals to feel comfort for their fear, stress and pain. But I know that I am partly repressing the emotions and every now and then they come out in an intense way. I am watching all your videos and reading your books hoping to find an answer but it would be so good if you would discuss this subject. I know many people who struggle with this. Thank you for what you do Eckhart and team, much love 🙏❤
From what I see animals have feelings, humans are not superior or inferior than them, we are different, communicate differently than them, so we are unaware of their "intelligence", feelings and we dont understand the way they communicate most of the time. Most of them are more in touch with nature than us, they know, they feel stuff that we are disconnected from. Most of what have been created, like plane and stuff like that, even fashion and art in general have been created thanks to them because "genius", "artists" have sat and observe them and learn from what they do, and what they are. And they probably have abilities that we are not even aware of. Absolutely everything is nature, what humans built comes from nature, and animals and we are "nature". We are different and made of similar in some ways. It's like I'm french and if you don't know french and I didn't know english we could only communicate using our bodies, reading our feelings in our body language, we could still understand ourselves in some ways but you might think that I'm stupid or whatever because we couldn't talk about "smart" things and I could not understand what you said so we could only comminicate lightly but I could have a degree in astrophysics or whatever ( and vice versa) You could read about the "art of allowing" I find about it in the book from Ester Hicks "the law of attraction" to resume it, Focus your attention on the solutions, not the problems, show what it is "right" by doing what feels right to you, not by trying to change others behaviours because you can't. Allowing means you accept that others are different than you and might act badly or whatever, because like Eckhart said in the video labeling something as bad or good comes from the ego and you never know the coditionning of others, why they act the way they do and sometimes what seems dreadful is just an illusion, or it might have been due to a conditionning where they had to act this way in order to survive. Allowing people to do what they want even if they try to "control" you. Focus on what you want for you and not how you could change others. What others do is none of your responsabilities, buisness, you're not here to save others the only way you can help others is by being and doing what feels right, being unapologeticly you, that way people will observe and see happyness, peace, feel good in your presence and will be inspired by you and it is there that they will start changing if their awarness is strong enough. Be the one that impact people not the one who will be impacted by others behaviours. Hope it helps or makes sens to you in some way ! By the way don't try to not feel something, but allow the feelings to exist, don't try to control it, supress it or let it consume you, you can't it will show up one way or another. You have to sit with it, focus on your breathing and just observe it, it will pass even if it is unconfortable. Emotions comes from a thought, or from something happening, but most of the time it is the way you interpret it that makes you feel"bad". Just let it be, and let others be.
I absolutely feel the same. All my life has been dealing with the appalling pain I felt from realizing the extent that my fellow humans can ignore the suffering of the honest, more noble animals. It's always there in my view of life. I guess I just wanted to say that, although we're uncommon, you're far from alone.
@@renaudlevasseur8327 Beautiful reply! I might add that we are definitely here to release our need to be right, to passionately wave our flag of emotions for a cause, albeit a perfectly understandable cause. Just a reminder that we are human "beings." Every good thought towards loving the animals and bathing them in healing light is helping to evolve all of creation!
I grew up in a similar household, fear and love simultaneously existing, but as an adult, experiencing consciousness expansion, I am able to understand what are people’s projections and how no matter what, it’s my choice to allow them to affect me. Truly life changing and empowering stuff! Thank you for these messages and for all that you do. You are a wonderful teacher and you are so inspiring!
a child feels safer behind a parent's leg if an approaching person discomforts them .. they have no thoughts about that person or the event..they instinctively distance themselves
Some of us are walking the righteous path. So much to learn from Eckhart. I felt the hurted Ego too often... Like he said... The interpretation of certain events trigger the Ego and it feels hurt, where in reality nothing really happend. Just look at events like they truly are and move on.
This constant analysis of emotion sets you further and further back away from reality. We think if we understand it we wont feel it, but we still do so we try to get high off the teaching over and over again. Keep your mind in the present regardless of what you're feeling and you will grow 10x more than sitting there analyzing your feelings.
@@lucaseliarosenstock9737 you're welcome brother, I have personal experience with this as well. My mind always tries to draw me back to analysis, but I've learned that that is what kept generating more thoughts and fear. Theres no mantra, nor formula, just allow yourself to feel what you feel and accept that it's ok to not know it all. The feelings will pass by. Sometimes when I dont know how to break out of a fear feedback loop I make myself stop and ask myself specifically what I am doing at the moment and it refocuses me. Dont feel like a failure if you have to keep doing it. It's like lifting weights it takes exercise of that mental strength to grow in focus. If you cant do that then just focus on the breath for like 10 breaths then ask the question again and dont try to figure out why it works until you feel focused enough to not lock on it when you dont want to in my opinion. Take care
Sir, you have changed my life. I thank you for all you have gone through to get to where you are so that you can get the rest of us to that place. I felt I forgave my father for molesting me and my mom for beating me. But this helps me so much more. They weren't present. They never knew what being present was. One can feel or almost feel compassion for them. Blessings to you.
If you read this, doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful night and a happy peaceful life where all your dreams become true. Namaste!
Same here... it came to me after a situation arose for me earlier and i was seeking advice from a church family member and she suggested I begin forgiving a specific person that hurts me, constantly. I am soo tired of getting angry & frustrated and letting this person (demon) take up space in my mind and letting my precious energy be wasted on his ignorance&misery. This came at the perfect time for me. 🤲💙🤲 #synchronicity ILoveU Eckhart, U Rock My World 💙☮🌠✝️♾🙏 🌧🕊🌧 💫❌⭕
Forgiveness towards "Others" has always been very very easy for me. Thus, I never suffer feelings of anger or resentment or hold onto those feelings. However....What about "Self Forgiveness??? Forgiving "Myself" of my own short comings or injustices that I may have inflicted on "Others" has always been a major challenge for me, regardless of how insignificant they may be. Any insight would be appreciated.
Dear Master Eckhart! You really gave me an aha-moment with your explanation of that our inner being can never be hurt, so from that point of view there is nothing to forgive! Thank you soo much!!!
I just want to say, i love you. I love us, humans. Those public sessions give me life and give me this feeling of love for humanity. So thank you for everything.
I had a long grievance with a friend, but I have forgiven her, I still avoid contacting her because I have the fear that she will do the same again. However, from your teaching the aspect of understanding others' conditioning has been very helpful. comments made on your talks are also a great source of learning.
Although I find comfort in this teaching, Eckhart "forgiving his Father's level of unconscious" still does not ameliorate the unnecessary suffering he was subjected to at the hands of his Dad. How can the victim of unprovoked violence (in this case, Eckhart) find "peace and healing" and continue moving forward with life when those emotional scars exist?
Thank you Eckhart for being a light to the world. The wisdom you shared has helped me forgive and let go of anger, resentment, and suffering. I feel like a totally different person. Joy, peace and contentment now permeates my life. Namaste.
fk forgiveness and denial maybe if suits but justice natural lore It is possible tho. starts with self >!? with discretion I'd feel yet may help the abused to be happy and peaceful but not always either... Depends on our evolvement and soul spiritual level too ..
The average person does not go through such a sudden transformation as Eckhart’s, so his description of how he didn’t need to do anything to forgive his father does not apply to most of us. We have to endure the typically long process of consciously contemplating our negative emotions and be the space to hold them until they are transformed, really by grace, just as Eckhart’s transformation was given by grace. Our task is to consciously hold the negative emotions.
My German parents who were born in WW2 in Germany. Anger. Fear. Shortage consciousness. Eggshells for my sister and I during our childhood and young adult years. Amazing what unconsciousness can do to children, and what our own personal awakening can do for us. Forgiveness is vital for our mental and physical health. Thank you for this explanation.
The greatest that ever lived; He had no servants, yet they called Him Master. He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet Kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He had no crime, yet they crucified Him. He had no need, yet He forgave them as they mocked. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. His name is Jesus Christ and He is the Saviour of the world.
Forgiveness sets us free from the situation, especially if we can go even higher and have no blame in the first place for a person who didn't know how to treat us well, they are still learning too. 💗💛💙💚💜
Forgive the past. It is over. Learn from it and let go. People are constantly changing and growing. Do not cling to a limited, disconnected, negative image of a person in the past. See that person now. Your relationship is always alive and changing.
I have been asking God to teach me forgiveness for a month and here He gives me Eckhart. Simply amazing. The world changes when you stop believing in God and know Him. Thank you Father. Oh, and you too Eckhart.
Master can i ask if the following is correct?: We dont have to feel bad for betrayal, but that doesnt mean you should live with all the disrespect that someone inflicts to you. Dont hate the person, forgive, and leave if you understand the person is doing you bad. Correct? Can i forgive but still not accept?
I think you are free to respond to the situation in a manner that you respect /value yourself , but it is important to not ‘judge’ the situation , the other person ,or yourself , in any way . Once you judge ,I think we will absorb the pain of the event in some way and we start changing ourselves in a negative way . For ex if I judge someone to be harsh / mean , I will unknowingly slowly become harsh/ mean myself .. it’s very interesting .. and seems very hard to follow but I found some clarity when I read Wayne Dyer - when you are one with your deep self u see others as part of yourself , so u are not angry at them , u instantly understand ! The quote ‘ To forgive.......you must have blamed first” But I think this will take me a lifetime to bring it into my experience .. but hey at least I am beginning to understand the concept , so let’s pat ourselves on the back and keep moving ahead in this journey of growth !good luck and god bless
@@mca3430 God Bless You Too! Ive found the answer in the Chapter 4: mind strategies of the book from Eckhart. He explains that it is normal to understand something is bad to you, and avoid it. That is not judgment, that is a fact. Like, if you know a certain food make you ill, would you eat it again just for not judge the ill is bad? No. You can always see what is bad for you and avoid it. What he means by forgive is to do not feel bad like "too bad i did this, too bad they did that to me". But If we understand someone hurt you in some way, you can always choose to leave that wich is bad for you.
Celso Henrique yes you are absolutely right ..we have to leave what’s bad for us but we should strive to not hold any negative feelings inside of us , thank you for your reply 👍:)
@@celsothedevil what about punishing the person, so he/she will not do it again? Coz if you live with this person then you will have to forgive him 10 times a day and next day he/she will come up with some new evil things
This helps so much. It has none of the gaslighting you typically see, where he forgives his father not by claiming he did nothing wrong but by getting in touch with the unhurt part of himself, the self that can never be injured. Amazing. Tear jerking. I feel forgiveness towards so many already.
You are truly a great human being. The truth in your teachings is incomprehensible. What a wonderful thing to be able to have such a perspective on the world.
"I forgive Joe Blow for what he did to [another person.] Sorry, you can't do that. Forgiveness as a personal act between the doer and the receiver alone. Now if Joe killed your son that's different as the blow also affected you, but YOU can't forgive the Boston Bombers for hurting those runners unless you yourself were personally affected in some way. BUT you can have compassion for anyone whether it's personal or not. That seems to be something that people tend to forget.
Thanks Eckhart, that has given me a different perspective on forgiveness.🙏 Unconscious is surely how it is. When they come out of their rage, whatever it is, and they become conscious, then they are sorry and cry and say "I didn't mean it, I just want somebody to love me for who I am, nobody understands my past, blames their upbringing, blames you, threaten you, stalk you, and more, yet can treat someone with such hate, torment, and anger. This person had me so isolated, hating myself, scared, no self esteem, soul destroying etc etc, to the point of not wanting to live anymore, and thanks to friends, family, counsellor, you tube videos, until my good doctor prescribing Citalopram anti depressant, saved my life , It was more dreadful than words can even say. So thanks again Eckhart, it helps a little more with forgiveness, and getting to that point of "almost like it never happened", will be great.. Not there yet, but with your encouraging videos, I will. I am grateful today for your inspiring words, and the peaceful, intuitive person that you are❤
I had dreams when I was absolutely full of hate for my mum, she always sided with someone else against me, in my dream, and I knew she didn't love me. The feeling of hate was so huge and intense. Now i have inner peace. My awakening journey has begun, and I don't have that dream, not for a long time. I understand her. She has passed on. I'm still working on my PTSD from my childhood trauma, but I'm no longer smothered with the past. So, how do u thank someone who gave u a gift like this. I have no words. So for you, Eckhart I just feel love. It will ripple on in time and effect all I come in touch with, and on and on. It's God's way. Evolution of my soul. It is incredible. God bless you all, from New Zealand 🇳🇿♥️🙏
So much spiritual bypassing. Gosh. Not that everything he's saying is SB, but the whole "nothing that is real can be harmed, etc". Well that sounds great but if you place all of your unpleasant experiences in a box labeled "not real", you're engaging in massive denial. Those experiences manifest in our body. We can pretend that our body is not real, but it's the only thing we have any sound reason to believe in, and it is our only point of contact with anything else. If our body is not real then the word "real" has absolutely no useful meaning. Healing is possible. That healing happens in the body. If the way we make that healing happen in our body is by pretending that it's happening somewhere else, then fine, healing is healing, but why introduce denial with its associated confusion? Why not be honest and engage with the body on its own real terms.
Never force yourself to forgive anyone. There are despicable people in this world. But if you are to someday feel conscious enough to not hold a grudge, then doing so will free you.
Unfortunately knowing the real cause of someone's behavior does nothing to stop my resentment of what they did to me. I'm an angry person, mindful, and angry.
The ego's interpretation of events: the stories we tell ourselves is what gets us and keeps us riled up. Thank you for this clarity. Oh, BTW, thank you for not attaching the ringing sound before and after these segments. I use them to meditate. The sound interrupts that.
One of the best and clearest explanations about what pain really is and where does It come from, and subsequently where to find forgiveness. It's not something that de DO, it's something that simply exist only in the level of identification with the ego, only in that level pain seems exist. When we anchor with Presence, at that level of Consciousness, no thing like suffering infused by other person to us exist, so there is NO NEED to do the action of forgive. The concept of forgiveness is dissolved by Presence. Really usefull in our day-to-day Life experience as egoic forms. I feel blessed for listening to this wisdom trough Eckhart. Thanks so much. Blessings for all the creatures that feel pain, may all of us wake to the Truth and disolve the dream. Namaste. 🙏
Invisibly, by not forgiving, we add heavy lead called "resentment" to an invisible backpack that we carry around. This heavy lead called "resentment' slows us down, stunts our growth and inhibits our freedom of movement. Greed (hate) from others has robbed me of a life. But I am still a bundle of light and warmth called a star. Unlike the greed (hate) that robbed me...I am not the darkness and emptiness that surrounds the stars. I refuse to be ignorant (dead).
The mind never forgives anyone, no matter you practice thousands of years. The mind may ignore, the mind may turn but it never forgives. The reason behind this is only mind itself. It is the nature of mind and mind exists in this way. Who is asking for to forgive? Who is asking to be a good and nice person? From these questions, it is very clear that one is not forgiving himself and want to change himself to become something else. If you forgive yourself then you will forgive others. Your awareness effort is only to seek some result, some benefit and change some of your characters or at least control some trait of character but it will not lead anywhere. True awareness is not an effort, it is not a goal, it is not seeking, it is not pre-planned answers, goals, which one is waiting for and struggling for. You will not go very far. No explanations, no methods, no knowledge, no learning will lead to truth. The European mind is very logical, so they want an explanation of everything, even the things which do not require any explanation. This is path of brave people who has great trust on uncertainties and ever-changing nature and he seeks no surety, no certainty ... just great trust ...................and to live fully...
Forgiving others is important, people are only human, the nastiness and cruelty others sometimes express are merely passing storm clouds, people will hurt you in this world because they are hurt or ignorant, forgiving them is the best thing to do always, my entire life people have been hurting me in some way, it feels like daily, but I practice forgiveness, I forgive their hatred of me or whatever it is, to realize the bigger picture, that people are hurting
Geez... I’m so blown away by how much this man is on point.. !! I sorta knew what he was getting at, but he just has the words... he says what I couldn’t !! I’m so grateful he’s here 😃🙏🏽
I have a similar story of your dad and yoursedlf. Dad passed away with cancer a year ago and I miss him so much. 1 forgave his anger once 1 understood his situation. I love dad (may his soul rest in eternal peace and light)
@Tamar Harris Oh I'm so sorry that you had to go through that. Trust that love can heal eveyone. It makes us feeling better to get these memories out of our chests though. Now that we understood their situations, there is no room left but for love and acceptance to shine through. 💞💐🙏
I needed to hear this. This describes exactly what I lived with. I know I have forgiven many times, Just need to forgive one more time even for my own self how it made me feel.
I started watching these videos after many years watching Abraham Hicks videos and these really resonate with me as well. What a brilliant man! Forgiveness is a learning experience but we are all capable. 💕
I have been angry my whole life. It is hard to want to keep going because when you're like that you are a burden on everyone else. It is also hard to want to change; turning a train around takes sustained effort, patience and resources.
a space within you that was never hurt by that an act of unconsciousness Accept as true only what your brother is , if you would know yourself he did wat he did according to the way life had conditioned him very often it is the judgement of the situation that creates the emotion that feels injuried just be with the pure facts 🎁Thank you I am the witness
The powder keg example reminded me of my own childhood. I remember several times pleading with my father to not hit us. Still I got hit. I asked my parents as an adult why they hit their children. They didn't remember doing such a thing. That's when I forgave them. Our parents are humans too, and aren't infallible. I held anger for what they did to us for a long time. After confronting them a great sense of peace and forgiveness came over me as I realized I was never going to get an apology.
That is very interesting: looks pretty much like the story in my memory of my father and my relationship with him. Yes, forgiveness shows us that there has not really anything been done to us, and more importantly that is was all along me, myself, whom I saw and chose to experience in separation. I love the Course in Miracles as carrier of this message! ....Blessings...
I find this to be the best video ever to describe how the ego works and also why it's so important to know the essence of who your really are (pure positive love) ... Thank you Eckhart! love and light to YOU and your channel....
All my childhood I was taught to deny my feelings... don’t be sad.. don’t be a angry... pull yourself together... stop feeling sorry for yourself... I continued in adult life and still get very depressed.. here it seems that Eckhart is again telling me to deny my feelings... I don’t get it
Find a quiet place and continue to listen to this video. Allow yourself to explore what Eckhart is saying. You don't have to accept it, just explore. Watch everything that arises. All the feelings and judgments. Watch the self protective part of us that sees forgiveness as vulnerability. Forgiveness is not vulnerability. It is simply identifying with Peace instead of hate or other forms of negativity. A Course in Miracles asks, "Could I see Peace instead of what I now see?"
Nah your feelings are important they tell you what you believe. Whenever I have a negative feeling it indicates a belief in something that is not true. So don't deny feelings instead question the belief that is causing them.
*Lovely! Check out what Drukama tradition says about this stuff too, allot of the same things in parallel but most importantly opening the heart up. Be well all!*
Compassion I personally see is a part of forgiveness. Allowing yourself to forgive others and yourself is a form of compassion for you. Allows you to let go of negative feelings and move forward..while "staying in the now". Before he even answered I was able to answer that for myself..because I was able stop, think, remain in the now and then answer. Thank you Eckhart for helping me to see things differently. I picked up the Power of Now from the library about a month or so ago and haven't finished it yet but I'm working through it and even the little ways I've gotten through it, is doing wonders for me. I ordered the book and just waiting for it to get to me (it's a used copy but I just had to own it!). I first of your name in a song I loved but I just can't remember the name of it now! And then again through Oprah reading 'The Wisdom of Sundays ' ...I went looking for a book by you and happy I did. 🙂
And i can relate to the anger story, because i feel it, & also grew up in a very similar explosive environment..i feel abandoned later on, & betrayed by my own family. This was all caused by a family tragedy when i was 4. It's a long time ago, but the resentments have accumulated towards an older sibling, who i still need to do bussiness with for a little while, unresolved & deep wounds!
I have a deep need to heal once & for all..im 51yrs old, i think it's enough. Its partly why i cant make deep relationships. Im being real vulnerable here, but anyway, I'm genuine😏, thnks.
Me: I have a problem. Eckhart: It doesn’t matter because it’s not real. Me: but I have a real problem. Eckhart: Your problems aren’t real. Just be mindful and stay connected to the infinite. Me: Gee thanks guy👍🏽
THEY LIVE WE SLEEP however your feelings are real and valid...even though they may arise out of distorted reality. When we change the meaning we give to events and intents, we change how we feel. When I’ve done this it’s the only way I’ve achieved peace. It’s hard to get in the zone...but once there so much feels perfect and effortless, no matter what is going on. It’s not that I’m deluded, just not bound in fear and misplaced meanings. Blessings 🌺
It's all about perception. A lot of people are immersed and sometimes drowning in 3D reality, and others have managed to transcend above it. Eckhart taught me to look at my situations objectively, as if I am on the outside looking in. Be an observer. There is a peace, a relaxation to this after trying it even just a few times. I wish you the best ❤
Tolle says something really powerful in 6:48, "He did what he did according to the way in which life had conditioned him". This is so true, most people act out of the way life conditioned them, not out of a REAL conscious choice. They are not evil, they are unconscious
exactly!
Yes sir. Very powerful
So I guess we don't need any prisons any more, let the criminals run around, coz they do what they do xD
@@hereandnow5235 Yes, but we need to lock them up because they are a danger to other people and society in general - not because they are "evil".
Yes OK but then we need to forgive and distance from such people and we can choose to either reconcile or not.. For example my sister broke my relationship with my gf, I was heart broken.. Its very hard to forgive but I'm on the way..
Forgiveness is the highest act of self-love. You love yourself to much to allow another to disturb your peace 🙏🏼
Thank you for your words. They opened a door in my mind!
well that doesnt make sense
self-love is not forgivness, it's egoic emotion
Loving yourself is important, but I feel that forgiveness is not just something to be done for one's self. True understanding and love of another person allows us to forgive and in doing so our forgiveness is using the power of love to not only heal our own wounds, but also the severed connection between two pieces of the same whole. Forgiveness for our own sake is certainly a start, but it only scratches the surface of what true forgiveness is.
Forgiveness is a path to healing and being at peace

God forbid, no! Nobel Peace Award is so notoriously abused by being granted to spineless, deceiving, unworthy people so it's better Eckhart Tolle stays far away from associating with it.

“The event is neutral, the story interpretation of it creates the anguish.”
You my friend are a man of true wisdom
But how can for example child abuse be neutral??
@@TheBoots72 I was thinking the same. So basically that abused child has to wait for years to grow up and watch his videos and become Conscious and forgive that abuser and see that abuse as neutral. Well I love Eckart. I suppose even he took years to reach here. But the gist of it is, some people never become conscious till death.
@@charu1verma yes i do believe we attract things in our lives good or bad.Even children but a child at a very young age is not conscious and basically has to live the life that is he/ she is told to live.And so the child doesn't really have a choice.(sexual)abuse in that case is not neutral until you give meaning to it in my opinion
@@TheBoots72 I see forgiveness as a process that takes time. A child will grow and mature and hopefully come to find peace.
My understanding of forgiveness is that it is for yourself, not the other person. My best way to explain forgiveness is it is “giving up on the need, or desire, for revenge”. Letting go of this feeling also allows a person to let go of the hate and anger. It is not forgetting, it is releasing the power and control those feelings have over your thoughts and actions...I think this is why this quote spoke to me.
I love when Eckhart relates and shares his personal story/history.
sistaschin It’s the most inoffensive way of making a point.
Yes so true
Indeed!
Yess..makes him seem closer
Yes . . .i do also!
When forgiveness becomes an essential part of our thinking, we begin to heal the wounds of our past
My friend forgiveness doesn't become essential part of our thinking, It can become a natural part of our Beingness
Forgiveness it's not to be created by the mind becose then requiring rememberence and effort , The natural forgiveness that arises from the place of inner Silence and Peace it effortless but full of understanding and clarity🙏✨🌸❤️
This is so true. Thank you for sharing.
He pointed out in the video that forgiveness is not (and cannot be) the result of thinking
Artur Hulboj pls kindly would you share how forgiveness becomes natural?? I have been so so wounded and abused I try to let go and forgive but still I cant 😞🙁🙏🙏
@@atashakgem Look up on RUclips any of Eckhart's discussions about the "pain body" and then you will have more insight on how forgiveness becomes natural. You don't "have" to forgive. When you learn about the pain body, you will have more insight that will help you help yourself. =))
Took me years to realize my parents especially my beloved mom "did the best she could do", given how they/she was raised. Sooo true... i miss them dearly because i LOVE them n because all is forgiven.

*"The judgment of the situation creates the emotion that feels injured."*
Simona Rich, that’s such an important point 💕
We are Humans & Humans Judge situations & Feel Upset about things...Only Highly evolved spiritual people do not judge & feel hurt in situations...We are highly emotional beings as most of us here are highly sensitive people...Most people who meditate & pray & follow Eckhart Tolle are highly sensitive emotional people who judge themselves & others all the time...We are only human & we all have human egos as long as we are alive ...We are just more aware than ever, of when its Ego responding to situations....
Is this also true for rape, molestation of children, torment and more?
Thrifty Juju Living with the consequences of something bad that happened is real too even if you don’t want to think so.
Simona Rich Exactly so. All about you and inner change.
wow. I had the same childhood experience! Later I had the experience of forgiveness... I can't even say "I forgave "; it was more like a burden lifted from ME, and yes as if the past was cleared. Forgiveness is profound. I wish the experience for everyone who's in anguish. Thankyou Eckhart X
I also have the same childhood and I'm going through this path right now. It's extremely painful and difficult. I couldn't forgive my parents even I know their condition in the past. I'm thinking maybe I'm incapable of love. May I ask you how did you forgive or let go? Or broke the ego to not resent anymore.. Thanks if you could help
@@mc7108 I also experienced this childhood. I was only able to forgive after doing a lot of work on myself, meditation, shadow work, understanding CPTSD-look it up. I did a lot of crying, a lot of letting things go so to speak. You will get there, where you can forgive, or as I did, just let him and all the negativity go. Live in the NOW! x
The event itself is neutral , it’s the story you created which creates the anguish. Awesome.
Forgiveness is accepting the past...and letting it go. To cease keeping the suffering alive by rehashing and reliving it over and over again. You are not longer "stuck" on it. Forgiveness is to free yourself from the past.
I can relate to your story.....when I forgave my father, I actually cried hard with anger but, I felt his pain and totally understood that he did the best he could with what he knew. He never left me but he was never there to give me what I needed from him.
I relate to this... I'm glad you have that empathy in you :) it's a beautiful thing. Ending the cycle and realizing we can do better, I believe, is quite liberating, I wish you the best.
"Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.” Such powerful, yet simple, thought-provoking wisdom. Eckhart's teachings have transformed my life!!
Ever since reading The Power of Now and hearing Eckhart's teachings, my life has changed dramatically. Now I'm making videos to help people raise their vibration and overcome things such as anxiety and insecurity! Thanks Eckhart🙏

@Baderhax o, yes, sure...!
@@marijkevandermeer2772 The Hulk perfectly describes the narcissistic rage,the Jekyll and Hyde factor which would be terrifying for a child to witness,it's bad enough when an adult sees this.It is good to know that people who have suffered in this way can rise above their torments and search for a higher understanding and find the peace that they so desperately need.My heart goes out to the children too.
Veel mensen die de oorlog meegemaakt hadden en er niet over konden praten ,zijn hoop mensen die dit als kind meegemaakt hebben.
@Baderhax you can, but you better hang on to your hat because it's a rough ride.
A healing reminder for me who has Tolle as a life saving star since 10 years. I´ve been reading books in similar categories since teenage years, and what always gets to me is "the situation is what it is, neither good or bad, you are the one putting lables on everything (making it so- depending on what benefits your reality or not). Life is pretty simple in a way, our mind game is not healthy.
Dear Eckhart could you please share your view on animal suffering especially inflicted by humans in the industry for meat, dairy, eggs, wool etc. I don't hate people for causing it (consumers and people working in the industry) and I try to do my best in helping the animals and spreading awareness and consciousness among humans.
Although I feel compassion for humans too I find it easier to accept human suffering because I know it is on the egoic level and that it has a purpose for them to become conscious. But what about the animal suffering, does it have a purpose.. for them? They are innocent and already conscious to their capabilities. I find it so hard to see and know how they suffer.
I try to not feel it all the time anymore because at a certain time I was not able to function. When I feel the emotions I try to convert them in my mind to positive intentions of people to open their eyes and hearts and for the animals to feel comfort for their fear, stress and pain. But I know that I am partly repressing the emotions and every now and then they come out in an intense way.
I am watching all your videos and reading your books hoping to find an answer but it would be so good if you would discuss this subject. I know many people who struggle with this.
Thank you for what you do Eckhart and team, much love 🙏❤
From what I see animals have feelings, humans are not superior or inferior than them, we are different, communicate differently than them, so we are unaware of their "intelligence", feelings and we dont understand the way they communicate most of the time. Most of them are more in touch with nature than us, they know, they feel stuff that we are disconnected from. Most of what have been created, like plane and stuff like that, even fashion and art in general have been created thanks to them because "genius", "artists" have sat and observe them and learn from what they do, and what they are. And they probably have abilities that we are not even aware of. Absolutely everything is nature, what humans built comes from nature, and animals and we are "nature".
We are different and made of similar in some ways. It's like I'm french and if you don't know french and I didn't know english we could only communicate using our bodies, reading our feelings in our body language, we could still understand ourselves in some ways but you might think that I'm stupid or whatever because we couldn't talk about "smart" things and I could not understand what you said so we could only comminicate lightly but I could have a degree in astrophysics or whatever ( and vice versa)
You could read about the "art of allowing" I find about it in the book from Ester Hicks "the law of attraction" to resume it, Focus your attention on the solutions, not the problems, show what it is "right" by doing what feels right to you, not by trying to change others behaviours because you can't.
Allowing means you accept that others are different than you and might act badly or whatever, because like Eckhart said in the video labeling something as bad or good comes from the ego and you never know the coditionning of others, why they act the way they do and sometimes what seems dreadful is just an illusion, or it might have been due to a conditionning where they had to act this way in order to survive.
Allowing people to do what they want even if they try to "control" you. Focus on what you want for you and not how you could change others. What others do is none of your responsabilities, buisness, you're not here to save others the only way you can help others is by being and doing what feels right, being unapologeticly you, that way people will observe and see happyness, peace, feel good in your presence and will be inspired by you and it is there that they will start changing if their awarness is strong enough.
Be the one that impact people not the one who will be impacted by others behaviours.
Hope it helps or makes sens to you in some way !
By the way don't try to not feel something, but allow the feelings to exist, don't try to control it, supress it or let it consume you, you can't it will show up one way or another. You have to sit with it, focus on your breathing and just observe it, it will pass even if it is unconfortable.
Emotions comes from a thought, or from something happening, but most of the time it is the way you interpret it that makes you feel"bad". Just let it be, and let others be.
I absolutely feel the same. All my life has been dealing with the appalling pain I felt from realizing the extent that my fellow humans can ignore the suffering of the honest, more noble animals. It's always there in my view of life. I guess I just wanted to say that, although we're uncommon, you're far from alone.
@@renaudlevasseur8327 Beautiful reply! I might add that we are definitely here to release our need to be right, to passionately wave our flag of emotions for a cause, albeit a perfectly understandable cause. Just a reminder that we are human "beings." Every good thought towards loving the animals and bathing them in healing light is helping to evolve all of creation!
True, they are victims of their rage just as we are.
TheDame Truth
But it’s incumbent upon them to address it.
TheSpaceBetween Oh absolutely!
I grew up in a similar household, fear and love simultaneously existing, but as an adult, experiencing consciousness expansion, I am able to understand what are people’s projections and how no matter what, it’s my choice to allow them to affect me. Truly life changing and empowering stuff! Thank you for these messages and for all that you do. You are a wonderful teacher and you are so inspiring!
I totally agree ♥️🙏thank you a thousand times my dearest Eckhart 🥰
I personally don't know him, but he came me through his books, made me hostile to humble, ignorant to conscious, impressive work
He’s so right. The hurt always does come after the thoughts, not the event.
so not true
a child feels safer behind a parent's leg if an approaching person discomforts them .. they have no thoughts about that person or the event..they instinctively distance themselves
Some of us are walking the righteous path. So much to learn from Eckhart.
I felt the hurted Ego too often... Like he said... The interpretation of certain events trigger the Ego and it feels hurt, where in reality nothing really happend. Just look at events like they truly are and move on.
This constant analysis of emotion sets you further and further back away from reality. We think if we understand it we wont feel it, but we still do so we try to get high off the teaching over and over again. Keep your mind in the present regardless of what you're feeling and you will grow 10x more than sitting there analyzing your feelings.
Thank you for this. Been trying to figure this out a few months. Love!
@@lucaseliarosenstock9737 you're welcome brother, I have personal experience with this as well. My mind always tries to draw me back to analysis, but I've learned that that is what kept generating more thoughts and fear. Theres no mantra, nor formula, just allow yourself to feel what you feel and accept that it's ok to not know it all. The feelings will pass by. Sometimes when I dont know how to break out of a fear feedback loop I make myself stop and ask myself specifically what I am doing at the moment and it refocuses me. Dont feel like a failure if you have to keep doing it. It's like lifting weights it takes exercise of that mental strength to grow in focus. If you cant do that then just focus on the breath for like 10 breaths then ask the question again and dont try to figure out why it works until you feel focused enough to not lock on it when you dont want to in my opinion. Take care
That’s beautiful, thank you!
I will use your advice! Much love brother
🙏🙏
Wonderfully insightful and very very comforting. Thank you once again ET 🙏💫
Beautiful.
You are just so Beautiful.
Your personality woven with the Formless is breathtaking.💯
That was very helpful for me, I grew up with an alcoholic father and I never new when he was going to come home and rage! Very difficult for a child.
Sir, you have changed my life. I thank you for all you have gone through to get to where you are so that you can get the rest of us to that place. I felt I forgave my father for molesting me and my mom for beating me. But this helps me so much more. They weren't present. They never knew what being present was. One can feel or almost feel compassion for them. Blessings to you.
If you read this, doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful night and a happy peaceful life where all your dreams become true. Namaste!
Thank you. 😊
This video came to me in perfect synchronicity this morning. Such a profound and meaningful perspective.🙏✨
Same here... it came to me after a situation arose for me earlier and i was seeking advice from a church family member and she suggested I begin forgiving a specific person that hurts me, constantly. I am soo tired of getting angry & frustrated and letting this person (demon) take up space in my mind and letting my precious energy be wasted on his ignorance&misery.
This came at the perfect time for me. 🤲💙🤲 #synchronicity

Forgiveness towards "Others" has always been very very easy for me.
Thus, I never suffer feelings of anger or resentment or hold onto those feelings.
However....What about "Self Forgiveness???
Forgiving "Myself" of my own short comings or injustices that I may have inflicted on "Others"
has always been a major challenge for me, regardless of how insignificant they may be.
Any insight would be appreciated.
this video is soooo powerful, I have waited such a long time for these realizations and all is clear now THANK YOU ECKHART!!
Dear Master Eckhart! You really gave me an aha-moment with your explanation of that our inner being can never be hurt, so from that point of view there is nothing to forgive! Thank you soo much!!!
Thank you so much Eckhart Tolle for teaching me how to forgive.
I just want to say, i love you. I love us, humans. Those public sessions give me life and give me this feeling of love for humanity. So thank you for everything.
I had a long grievance with a friend, but I have forgiven her, I still avoid contacting her because I have the fear that she will do the same again. However, from your teaching the aspect of understanding others' conditioning has been very helpful. comments made on your talks are also a great source of learning.
What insight was born from personal anguish...thank Eckhart,suffering does create turmoil from within...we have to grow through it.
Although I find comfort in this teaching, Eckhart "forgiving his Father's level of unconscious" still does not ameliorate the unnecessary suffering he was subjected to at the hands of his Dad. How can the victim of unprovoked violence (in this case, Eckhart) find "peace and healing" and continue moving forward with life when those emotional scars exist?
Thank you Eckhart for being a light to the world. The wisdom you shared has helped me forgive and let go of anger, resentment, and suffering. I feel like a totally different person. Joy, peace and contentment now permeates my life. Namaste.
fk forgiveness and denial maybe if suits but justice natural lore
It is possible tho. starts with self >!?
with discretion I'd feel yet may help the abused to be happy and peaceful but not always either...
Depends on our evolvement and soul spiritual level too ..
The average person does not go through such a sudden transformation as Eckhart’s, so his description of how he didn’t need to do anything to forgive his father does not apply to most of us. We have to endure the typically long process of consciously contemplating our negative emotions and be the space to hold them until they are transformed, really by grace, just as Eckhart’s transformation was given by grace. Our task is to consciously hold the negative emotions.
Forgiveness lets US out of the suffering, it's not just for the other person.
Yes, I agree. It also seems to be the longest journey from the head to the heart.
wow yes! the imposition of the story we add to an event is what creates the anguish
It was so hard to forgive myself; my unconscious side; the anger. If comes from love it is right. Love heals
My German parents who were born in WW2 in Germany. Anger. Fear. Shortage consciousness. Eggshells for my sister and I during our childhood and young adult years. Amazing what unconsciousness can do to children, and what our own personal awakening can do for us. Forgiveness is vital for our mental and physical health. Thank you for this explanation.
The greatest that ever lived; He had no servants, yet they called Him Master. He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet Kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He had no crime, yet they crucified Him. He had no need, yet He forgave them as they mocked. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. His name is Jesus Christ and He is the Saviour of the world.

Forgiveness sets us free from the situation, especially if we can go even higher and have no blame in the first place for a person who didn't know how to treat us well, they are still learning too. 💗💛💙💚💜
"He was just as much a victim as I was".
This is true forgiveness.
Forgive the past. It is over. Learn from it and let go. People are constantly changing and growing. Do not cling to a limited, disconnected, negative image of a person in the past. See that person now. Your relationship is always alive and changing.
I have been asking God to teach me forgiveness for a month and here He gives me Eckhart. Simply amazing. The world changes when you stop believing in God and know Him. Thank you Father. Oh, and you too Eckhart.
Master can i ask if the following is correct?: We dont have to feel bad for betrayal, but that doesnt mean you should live with all the disrespect that someone inflicts to you. Dont hate the person, forgive, and leave if you understand the person is doing you bad. Correct? Can i forgive but still not accept?
That is an act of self-love/love: forgive But walk away from it:)
I think you are free to respond to the situation in a manner that you respect /value yourself , but it is important to not ‘judge’ the situation , the other person ,or yourself , in any way . Once you judge ,I think we will absorb the pain of the event in some way and we start changing ourselves in a negative way . For ex if I judge someone to be harsh / mean , I will unknowingly slowly become harsh/ mean myself .. it’s very interesting .. and seems very hard to follow but I found some clarity when I read Wayne Dyer - when you are one with your deep self u see others as part of yourself , so u are not angry at them , u instantly understand ! The quote ‘ To forgive.......you must have blamed first” But I think this will take me a lifetime to bring it into my experience .. but hey at least I am beginning to understand the concept , so let’s pat ourselves on the back and keep moving ahead in this journey of growth !good luck and god bless
@@mca3430 God Bless You Too! Ive found the answer in the Chapter 4: mind strategies of the book from Eckhart. He explains that it is normal to understand something is bad to you, and avoid it. That is not judgment, that is a fact. Like, if you know a certain food make you ill, would you eat it again just for not judge the ill is bad? No. You can always see what is bad for you and avoid it. What he means by forgive is to do not feel bad like "too bad i did this, too bad they did that to me". But If we understand someone hurt you in some way, you can always choose to leave that wich is bad for you.
Celso Henrique yes you are absolutely right ..we have to leave what’s bad for us but we should strive to not hold any negative feelings inside of us , thank you for your reply 👍:)
@@celsothedevil what about punishing the person, so he/she will not do it again? Coz if you live with this person then you will have to forgive him 10 times a day and next day he/she will come up with some new evil things
This human is very inspiring ❤️
This helps so much. It has none of the gaslighting you typically see, where he forgives his father not by claiming he did nothing wrong but by getting in touch with the unhurt part of himself, the self that can never be injured. Amazing. Tear jerking. I feel forgiveness towards so many already.
Thank you, I'm learning so much from these videos.
You are truly a great human being. The truth in your teachings is incomprehensible. What a wonderful thing to be able to have such a perspective on the world.
So it is our inner space of freedom that saves us. Thank you, Eckhart.
I'm glad I listened to this it's something I needed to hear thank you.
"I forgive Joe Blow for what he did to [another person.] Sorry, you can't do that. Forgiveness as a personal act between the doer and the receiver alone. Now if Joe killed your son that's different as the blow also affected you, but YOU can't forgive the Boston Bombers for hurting those runners unless you yourself were personally affected in some way. BUT you can have compassion for anyone whether it's personal or not. That seems to be something that people tend to forget.
Thanks Eckhart, that has given me a different perspective on forgiveness.🙏 Unconscious is surely how it is. When they come out of their rage, whatever it is, and they become conscious, then they are sorry and cry and say "I didn't mean it, I just want somebody to love me for who I am, nobody understands my past, blames their upbringing, blames you, threaten you, stalk you, and more, yet can treat someone with such hate, torment, and anger. This person had me so isolated, hating myself, scared, no self esteem, soul destroying etc etc, to the point of not wanting to live anymore, and thanks to friends, family, counsellor, you tube videos, until my good doctor prescribing Citalopram anti depressant, saved my life , It was more dreadful than words can even say. So thanks again Eckhart, it helps a little more with forgiveness, and getting to that point of "almost like it never happened", will be great.. Not there yet, but with your encouraging videos, I will. I am grateful today for your inspiring words, and the peaceful, intuitive person that you are❤
I had dreams when I was absolutely full of hate for my mum, she always sided with someone else against me, in my dream, and I knew she didn't love me. The feeling of hate was so huge and intense. Now i have inner peace. My awakening journey has begun, and I don't have that dream, not for a long time. I understand her. She has passed on. I'm still working on my PTSD from my childhood trauma, but I'm no longer smothered with the past. So, how do u thank someone who gave u a gift like this. I have no words. So for you, Eckhart I just feel love. It will ripple on in time and effect all I come in touch with, and on and on. It's God's way. Evolution of my soul. It is incredible.
God bless you all, from New Zealand 🇳🇿♥️🙏
So much spiritual bypassing. Gosh. Not that everything he's saying is SB, but the whole "nothing that is real can be harmed, etc". Well that sounds great but if you place all of your unpleasant experiences in a box labeled "not real", you're engaging in massive denial. Those experiences manifest in our body. We can pretend that our body is not real, but it's the only thing we have any sound reason to believe in, and it is our only point of contact with anything else. If our body is not real then the word "real" has absolutely no useful meaning.
Healing is possible. That healing happens in the body. If the way we make that healing happen in our body is by pretending that it's happening somewhere else, then fine, healing is healing, but why introduce denial with its associated confusion? Why not be honest and engage with the body on its own real terms.
Never force yourself to forgive anyone. There are despicable people in this world. But if you are to someday feel conscious enough to not hold a grudge, then doing so will free you.
Sometimes the first step to forgiveness is realizing that the other person is completely stupid..
His relationship with his father was exactly the same as mine. Fearful and unpleasant. Years of it. He has helped me immensely.
Unfortunately knowing the real cause of someone's behavior does nothing to stop my resentment of what they did to me. I'm an angry person, mindful, and angry.
The ego's interpretation of events: the stories we tell ourselves is what gets us and keeps us riled up. Thank you for this clarity.
Oh, BTW, thank you for not attaching the ringing sound before and after these segments. I use them to meditate. The sound interrupts that.
One of the best and clearest explanations about what pain really is and where does It come from, and subsequently where to find forgiveness. It's not something that de DO, it's something that simply exist only in the level of identification with the ego, only in that level pain seems exist. When we anchor with Presence, at that level of Consciousness, no thing like suffering infused by other person to us exist, so there is NO NEED to do the action of forgive. The concept of forgiveness is dissolved by Presence. Really usefull in our day-to-day Life experience as egoic forms. I feel blessed for listening to this wisdom trough Eckhart. Thanks so much. Blessings for all the creatures that feel pain, may all of us wake to the Truth and disolve the dream. Namaste. 🙏
Invisibly, by not forgiving, we add heavy lead called "resentment" to an invisible backpack that we carry around. This heavy lead called "resentment' slows us down, stunts our growth and inhibits our freedom of movement.
Greed (hate) from others has robbed me of a life. But I am still a bundle of light and warmth called a star. Unlike the greed (hate) that robbed me...I am not the darkness and emptiness that surrounds the stars. I refuse to be ignorant (dead).
I'm learning more and more everiday with your words... thankiu so much....🙏
The mind never forgives anyone, no matter you practice thousands of years. The mind may ignore, the mind may turn but it never forgives. The reason behind this is only mind itself. It is the nature of mind and mind exists in this way. Who is asking for to forgive? Who is asking to be a good and nice person? From these questions, it is very clear that one is not forgiving himself and want to change himself to become something else. If you forgive yourself then you will forgive others.
Your awareness effort is only to seek some result, some benefit and change some of your characters or at least control some trait of character but it will not lead anywhere.
True awareness is not an effort, it is not a goal, it is not seeking, it is not pre-planned answers, goals, which one is waiting for and struggling for. You will not go very far.
No explanations, no methods, no knowledge, no learning will lead to truth. The European mind is very logical, so they want an explanation of everything, even the things which do not require any explanation.
This is path of brave people who has great trust on uncertainties and ever-changing nature and he seeks no surety, no certainty ... just great trust ...................and to live fully...
Forgiving others is important, people are only human, the nastiness and cruelty others sometimes express are merely passing storm clouds, people will hurt you in this world because they are hurt or ignorant, forgiving them is the best thing to do always, my entire life people have been hurting me in some way, it feels like daily, but I practice forgiveness, I forgive their hatred of me or whatever it is, to realize the bigger picture, that people are hurting
This is a beautifully put. It brings so much peace. Thank u

Eckhart .. I love you .. Thank you . Thank God for having you with us
JUST COMFORT VICTIMS!!! WHY IS THAT SO HARD?!
I needed to hear this. This describes exactly what I lived with. I know I have forgiven many times, Just need to forgive one more time even for my own self how it made me feel.
I started watching these videos after many years watching Abraham Hicks videos and these really resonate with me as well. What a brilliant man! Forgiveness is a learning experience but we are all capable. 💕
I have been angry my whole life. It is hard to want to keep going because when you're like that you are a burden on everyone else. It is also hard to want to change; turning a train around takes sustained effort, patience and resources.
Brilliant
Being reminded is so important. Thank you for posting this video.
a space within you that was never hurt by that
an act of unconsciousness
Accept as true only what your brother is , if you would know yourself
he did wat he did according to the way life had conditioned him
very often it is the judgement of the situation that creates the emotion that feels injuried
just be with the pure facts
🎁Thank you
I am the witness
The powder keg example reminded me of my own childhood. I remember several times pleading with my father to not hit us. Still I got hit. I asked my parents as an adult why they hit their children. They didn't remember doing such a thing. That's when I forgave them. Our parents are humans too, and aren't infallible. I held anger for what they did to us for a long time. After confronting them a great sense of peace and forgiveness came over me as I realized I was never going to get an apology.
Love you 😘 .... You and jiddu are two persons who changed the entire perspective of my life . I feel like a kid again at 28 .
رائع رائع رائع راااااااااااااائع ❤️🌷🙏🏿
Deeply resonate. 😌 thank you.
That is very interesting: looks pretty much like the story in my memory of my father and my relationship with him. Yes, forgiveness shows us that there has not really anything been done to us, and more importantly that is was all along me, myself, whom I saw and chose to experience in separation. I love the Course in Miracles as carrier of this message! ....Blessings...
Just what I needed to hear thank u for posting 🙏
Love you Eckhart.. God bless..
I find this to be the best video ever to describe how the ego works and also why it's so important to know the essence of who your really are (pure positive love) ... Thank you Eckhart! love and light to YOU and your channel....
All my childhood I was taught to deny my feelings... don’t be sad.. don’t be a angry... pull yourself together... stop feeling sorry for yourself... I continued in adult life and still get very depressed.. here it seems that Eckhart is again telling me to deny my feelings... I don’t get it
Find a quiet place and continue to listen to this video. Allow yourself to explore what Eckhart is saying. You don't have to accept it, just explore. Watch everything that arises. All the feelings and judgments. Watch the self protective part of us that sees forgiveness as vulnerability. Forgiveness is not vulnerability. It is simply identifying with Peace instead of hate or other forms of negativity. A Course in Miracles asks, "Could I see Peace instead of what I now see?"
Nah your feelings are important they tell you what you believe. Whenever I have a negative feeling it indicates a belief in something that is not true. So don't deny feelings instead question the belief that is causing them.
Thank you Eckhart...from the bottom of my heart, I love you
*Lovely! Check out what Drukama tradition says about this stuff too, allot of the same things in parallel but most importantly opening the heart up. Be well all!*
do i forgive myself for what happened, the person who did it, or what was done to me?
Compassion I personally see is a part of forgiveness. Allowing yourself to forgive others and yourself is a form of compassion for you. Allows you to let go of negative feelings and move forward..while "staying in the now". Before he even answered I was able to answer that for myself..because I was able stop, think, remain in the now and then answer. Thank you Eckhart for helping me to see things differently. I picked up the Power of Now from the library about a month or so ago and haven't finished it yet but I'm working through it and even the little ways I've gotten through it, is doing wonders for me. I ordered the book and just waiting for it to get to me (it's a used copy but I just had to own it!). I first of your name in a song I loved but I just can't remember the name of it now! And then again through Oprah reading 'The Wisdom of Sundays ' ...I went looking for a book by you and happy I did. 🙂
Love to hear more on forgiveness..really need it these days😏😓
And i can relate to the anger story, because i feel it, & also grew up in a very similar explosive environment..i feel abandoned later on, & betrayed by my own family. This was all caused by a family tragedy when i was 4. It's a long time ago, but the resentments have accumulated towards an older sibling, who i still need to do bussiness with for a little while, unresolved & deep wounds!
I have a deep need to heal once & for all..im 51yrs old, i think it's enough. Its partly why i cant make deep relationships. Im being real vulnerable here, but anyway, I'm genuine😏, thnks.
Me: I have a problem.
Eckhart: It doesn’t matter because it’s not real.
Me: but I have a real problem.
Eckhart: Your problems aren’t real. Just be mindful and stay connected to the infinite.
Me: Gee thanks guy👍🏽
THEY LIVE WE SLEEP however your feelings are real and valid...even though they may arise out of distorted reality. When we change the meaning we give to events and intents, we change how we feel.
When I’ve done this it’s the only way I’ve achieved peace. It’s hard to get in the zone...but once there so much feels perfect and effortless, no matter what is going on. It’s not that I’m deluded, just not bound in fear and misplaced meanings.
Blessings 🌺
It's all about perception. A lot of people are immersed and sometimes drowning in 3D reality, and others have managed to transcend above it. Eckhart taught me to look at my situations objectively, as if I am on the outside looking in. Be an observer. There is a peace, a relaxation to this after trying it even just a few times. I wish you the best ❤
You are a gift to the world 🙏🏾
